Mold releases/adhesive systems. Frekote mold release coatings and Hysol adhesive systems are featured in a 12-page, four-color brochure. Frekote semi-permanent release coatings are said to be the industry standard replacement for sacrificial release agents, according to the literature. Unlike sacrificial silicones and waxes, the company's semi-permanents do not transfer to parts. Instead, they chemically bond to mold surfaces. Parts are said to release cleanly because they cannot stick to these low surface energy films. Hysol methacrylate adhesives are said to enable manufacturers to expand their design options, boost productivity and improve product performance, according to the literature. These products are rubber-toughened, structural adhesives that cure rapidly at room temperature and are said to be formulated for the most demanding bonding applications. They are designed to replace mechanical fasteners with minimal surface preparation. (Dexter)

Dry polymer makeup system. A six-page, four-color brochure describes the D Series dry polymer makeup system. The D Series is designed to provide superior polymer mixing and shorter mixing times, according to the literature. As a result of the system's improved activation, it is said to have proven to reduce the amount of polymer used. The brochure provides a complete description of the product and includes information on accessories, specifications and a product selection guide. D Series makeup systems are pre-engineered, skid mounted packages, said to allow ease of installation and fast startup. The compact modular design is said to make the units ideal for applications where space is limited. User-friendly touch pad controls are said to simplify operation, reduce operator training time, assure accurate solution concentrations and allow fine tuning of the system operation to meet specific requirements. The heart of the D Series polymer makeup system is the patented Aqua Shear mixing device that utilizes high energy dispersion coupled with low pressure mixing. (Flow Process Technologies)
